NS 6078 5600 As part of Scottish Archaeology Month in September 2006 20 volunteers took part in a fieldwalking exercise to the SW of the farm. An area of 120 x 20m was gridded out in 10m squares, and the volunteers spent 5 minutes in each grid collecting all the visible artefacts. The majority of the artefacts recovered were of 19th-century origin. These included white glazed and brown glazed pottery, stoneware, bottle and window glass, clay pipes, and roof slates. More unusual finds included beads, buttons, burnt bone, medieval green glaze sherds, pitchstone and flint. Most of this material probably derives from spreading midden material onto the fields. It is hoped that some of the finds will go in display in the museum.
Report lodged with NTS SMR and NMRS.

NS 6076 5613 Recent bad weather highlighted the problems of drainage in the fields to the south-west of Wester Kittochside Farm. It was proposed that an archaeological watching brief should be carried out during the creation of a new field drain across the fields (NS 6076 5613 - NS 6063 5627). The work was undertaken over three days from 13th - 15th February 2007. Artefacts recovered during the work included a range of 19th century pottery, a near-complete clay tobacco pipe and a U-shaped clay field drain and sole plate.
